I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Corrupt archive?

Hi,
I have PA 16.03.01 and I came across a tarball it could not open http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/jargon-4.4.7.tar.gz. I wonder if there is any way to check if the problem lies with PA or the archive itself?
Thanks

without downloading it, try renaming it to tar (no .gz) and see if it works?
edit: it does… server misconfiguration most likely, downloads .tar as .tar.gz -
Hi,
I had already downloaded it. So I renamed it as you suggested and could open the archive :D.
Could you take the time to explain what is going on here? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Not sure if my explanation will suffice, but here goes…
tar puts multiple files into a single (tar) file.
gzip compresses one file (only).
So if the files don’t have the correct extension the program used to open it will try and fail simply because it tries to open it based on the extension. ;)

thats a good explanation… tar has no compression but can store multiple files.
So several compression formats can be used to compress tar files (gz, bz2, xz).When server is not configured properly, it gives you wrong extension. File on server could very much be .tar but server gives it to browser as tar.gz and the issue is there.
